I love it, but why does it mainly look like FOX News? Along with CNN, they're the closest we have to news with integrity anymore. And I certainly don't mind the occasional human interest piece. But on some news shows it seems like that's all they show.
replyhello are you crazy. FOX BEING REPUTABLE. dont make me laugh it makes me have coughing fits. i dont understand you right wing nutjobs as jibjab put. FOXs aim is so far to the right that if it were a gun it would miss the air.
Seriously, are you snorting coke with Dubya??? FOX is a propoganda channel... If you want to NOT know what's going on FOX is the place to go. It amazes me how stoopid people can be!
The hell is FOX has integrity! They're republican coke as much as CNN is for democrats! U.S. mass media is crap all around the board - if you want decent news these days, read the BBC or a newspaper for crying out loud. Out of all the slanted, one-sided "news" sources in the bucket, FOX is the one you have to scrape off the bottom. When the shows you watch have to remind you over and over and OVER again that we're "Fair and Balanced," they might be having some confidence issues? Judging by your username, GOParty, you're already too far gone. Now hurry along, Bill O'Reilly is waiting for you in the showers.
ya i agree with you 100%
You people are all Leftist democratic Liberals. You all should be watching the bottom feeders (NBC and CBS) which have the lowest ratings. Guess who is on top...hmm...Fox. Fox even beats CNN and do you know why? Because they are the only channel that leans to the right. They might not always have the best news, but at least they are not sucking up to the liberal secular-progressive democrats, like CBS and NBC. People like Fox News so much because they have values and at least attempt to look like they know what they are talking about. I just watched NBC recently, their top story, why the democrats are going to win the election, FOX's top story, the bombings in the Middle East. Hmm....which one seems more reliable. You may not like Fox because they are traditionalists with values, while the other news stations try to be politically correct and attack our nation with their leftest secular-progressive news, but it deserves some credit for being the only news station to lean to the right.
liberals amuse me. Bush is a prime example that you simply can't please everyone. He needs to stop trying too.
What else can be said? This is so true! I love it!
any one, absalutly anyone who beliefs that fox has integrity and that the "main stream media" is biased to the left; is totally out of there mind.
Seriously, FOX?! Are you crazy?! They're all idiotic right-wing nutjobs! And all the people there just do whatever they can for money, those selfish #@$*! I have no actual word for them, but worse than anything else!
GoParty, You are right on. It is so easy to get those left wingers worked up. As it was once said, "they cant handle the truth".
I think each and every one of you seems to have missed the point of the video. This just in: all of the news stations do this regularly. FOX and CNN both do it, and so does every other news station out there. You can say what you want, but it still comes down to large news stations alienating entire groups of people (punditry) and throwing crap at us that prevents us from seeing the important stuff ("mindless ballyhoo" as this video called it). When Anna Nicole Smith died, I saw at least one instance per major news station where they cut away from a major story and started going on about this story that, in reality, wasn't news. She was a celebrity, those people tend to die a little early. CNN even had an anchor at one point talk about how there would be no more interruptions for that particular story, followed by them cutting away to it eight seconds later. FOX did a similar thing, though I can't remember it off the top of my head. All the stations are biased, and most tend to report nonsense nowadays. Probably the only station I've seen focused recently is C-SPAN.
And of course, C-SPAN isn't even really a news station.
Let's make it simple. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc. all suck. There are only two television news shows that I'll watch, Daily Show and Colbert Report. For Comedy shows they actually have news on their shows, as opposed to the "real" news channels, which thoght Anna Nicole Smith was more important for 4 months than any other story.
CNN is the only legimate american news network, BBC, and RTC are good European networks and Al Jazzera is a very good news network. To get a decent perspective CNN, BBC and Al Jazzera are very good representitives. RTC is very neutral but difficult to get.
Glenn Beck, Keith Olbermann, and Anderson Cooper are the only newscasters I listen to anymore.
this isnt focusing on politics it focuses on the fact that the news dosent report on iomportant news anymore also cnn never reports iraq stories that are positive and if u actualy talk to real soliders they willl telll u much difffrent than the news does
Al Jazeera can be decent if you don't get a Jihadist writing up the article.
everybody needs to understand politics has NO part in this video. alll they do is have a blonde with @:@# report on depressing and retarded #?:@ that nobody (but at the same time everybody) cares about. nobody reports anything good. and every station sucks
I'm Korean, so my sentences can be not good. GOParty, I think you can think like that, but other people won't think like that, too.just think about other people.in the world, there isn't only you. There are a lot of people so there can be debates.and there is lots of opinions.so we can know that you are NOT listening each other's opinions!
imo all the major news stations lean to the right. If you want the real news listen to npr
Fox news tells the story, the whole story and all the facts. Which is more than I can say for any of the others that wont say anything that harms the democrats. Fox news will give you the facts, analyze the facts, then form an oppinion and debate people with a different oppinion, there is nothng bias about it. Think about that.
I would have to say that FOX was fine up until 9/11, after that they started looking for stories to seem more interesting and appeal to a larger audience
yeah dude, Fox news should really be called "The George Bush Show"
lol I HATE THE FRIKKIN' NEWS! IF YOU WANT REAL NEWS, INTERPRET IT FOR YOURSELF! THERE IS NO MID-ROAD NEWS, well, except the Wall Street Journal. BTW, JANE FONDA SHOULD BE SENT TO VIETNAM, and let them EXECUTE HER!!!!!! RIGHT WING RULES!!!
What happenede to the news quality these days? Is the government trying to sap our intelligence so that we get only one side of it? Are we slowly becoming the society shown in Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron", where everyone has hadicapps that lowers the I.Q. down to 4?
cause fox news is the most suckass news ever.
no, your thinking of CNN. Fox is reliable.
the news corperations want more money, more views = more money. how do you get more views? make it more intresting such as "putting on blondes with big boobs" ever see that south park episode? im only gonna say that I think that they are biased towards the left side right now what with george bush

What fox lies!
Besides you want real news go to BBC world
Am I the only one who realizes that the entire media sucks? Stop calling it elite, liberal, and right wing. Start calling it what it really is: lazy.
World news like BBC gives you more stuff that normal news wouldn't give you.
To be quite honest, both sides have TV news shows, there both slanted and for the most part they all need to straiten up and just give out stories that matter. This great video by jibjab gives out a crystal clear example of why the news needs to change.
I'm only 13 and I don't know much about news but I know there's a war going on and the news stations only focus on "who the baby's daddy is." As far as the FOX - CNN deal goes, I agree with the guy above me a couple of comments. The BBC is way better than both of those stations. Or read the newspaper. That seems to be better at focussing on issues that matter. Even the Wall Street Journal, even though it got bought out by the FOX guy, Murdock I think his name is. I come from a far left family and my dad reads The Wall Street Journal all the time, but I don't know if that means anything. I dunno. If you read this whole thing, please reply so I feel like people care about what I say. Uh, that's it.
wrong..they're pointing out that every new station is being dumb and showing su crap we dont want to see. For example....car pursuits.
Why are you arguing about who is liberal and what station are they refering too? It doesn't matter! It's putting blame on every station and all the main news stories of the past years. It is really stupid what they put on air. When Anna Nicole died a while back, I stopped watching TV for about a month to avoid hearing about it. Stupidity overwhelms the masses...
Yeah CNN talks about how Bush is over there to seize the oil! OMG! Why do you think oil prices in the US are so hight?! ITS BECAUSE WERE BUYING IT! CNN should change its name to the Communist News Network because they're saying anything they can to get America's attention, and they're falling for it hook, line and sinker! And whats with all this anti-government propaganda on CNN! They're ruining the US with stories like that!
WHY IS EVERYTHING A ZARKING DISSCUSSION OF POLITICS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Belgium.
Pepole keep talking about politics, and they miss the point of the actuall video. All the news stations stink. When anna nicole died, everybody was completely and utterly tied up in it. Including fox.
I think it is okay that FOX leans to the right, because every other channel leans toward the right.
should have waited for this idea and made this the year in review.
Are you friggin kidding me? FOX is the least reliable new in the history of the universe! Oh, and also, this site is pretty democratic, so i wouldn't go around flaming democrats.
Here's the funny part about FOX. They have been attacked by various fair media groups because they are unable to be fair and balanced. There was a study done that showed that those who watched The Daily Show got more information on whats really going on in the world then those who watched Bill O'Reilly. So yeah, FOX is basically a load of rupublican crap for those who want to be ignorant and arrogant of the world around them. Feel free to watch if you want Bush to be applauded for his foreign policy blunders along with everything else.
Fox is evil. thats why.
Fox News is conservative alright but one thing odd is that the other programs that Fox has is really loose and liberal....
Fox news is the only news statoin I can stand to watch. They are the the only ones that don't put a liberal slant into everything they say. This video makes a good point. "News" isn't what it used to be...
Yes, Bill O'Reilly is a rational, fair and balanced newscaster. He makes everything seem the way it really is in life.
This makes a good statement about todays cable news boradcasts, so pointless some weeks. But, the headlines available on local and satelite news broadcasts, makes up for this stuff, sometimes.
replyTrue
Very true
u r so right
Agreed
I believe this is true. And when news DOES show important stories, they bend and break information about it.
replywhat an excellent video...... Could not jib it but perhaps because I went into the site and digged it?????? miss the smileys and laughs
replyWhat a hoot! Very funny and very to the point...today's news is crap.
replyYa we need change.We are all so damn stupid for putting up with this too.
"It's turned our brains to goo."
George bush is ballyhoo
replyGot that right!
I was so pissed when the top story was "George Bush can't opn a door" when the damn thing was looked. I'm not the only one. I know tons of anti-Bush people who think the same thing. ERRRR We all try to open a looked door now and then.
But you have to remember that because Bush is a very large political figure any and all his misgivings will be amplified.
quite true.
Any facts to back that statement up?
umm....exactly! right-wing-nut-job u R A nut JOB! ok..the damn thing was looked??? u mean LOCKED! WOW nice spelling..no wonder u like bush..u r a STUPID DUMB ###! ahhaha WOW! he SUCKS ok and who wouldn't b suprised that he can't open up a door...he doesn't even know how 2 say NUCLEAR! that is FREAKIN SCARY!! but yeah he sucks but this video is HILARIOUS! haha
news is so screwed up now, its all about ratings and politics. Why the hell do I care who is on American idol, I don't watch the show but I'm always hearing about it on the stations.
replyThank you for mentioning American idol. I don't care if they can or can't sing!!!
I watch American idol only because Simon is so vicious. But I don't wan to here about it on the news. I also don't need to hear about Surviour.
nor do I.
thats why i quit watching the news
So true, so true
replythis awsome
Nothing is working. I am uable to watch any of your vidios. The Jib Jab logo pops up and freezes then nothing
replyyou'r not doing it right
I love crap like this
replyHahaha, wooo! The news is sorta like reality tv-- equally amusing.
replyexcellent metaphor
It is reality TV, it's just told from a third person perspective
So true excallaber
An excellent satire.
replyLove this video, I do recommend to others to watch the behind the scenes making if this piece, that JibJab offers. You guys put alot of work into these and they look great!
